"I'm not angry. I can't say I'm angry," said Ricardo Spear. "I hope that something good comes out of it and because there's been so much attention to this. I hope that somebody notices it and a sort of movement starts because it's not a safe country."

Spear attended the University of Central Florida and studied theater, according to the Central Florida Future.

She was crowned Miss Venezuela in 2004 and acted in numerous soap operas for the U.S.-based Telemundo network.
